Terminology for client interface

Hi,

I am finding myself in writing a Objective-C interface for MySQL via
the C API. Actually it works fine, but now I hit on the terminology
issue. There are several information sets and dimensions in a result,
and the MySQL documentation makes not everything clear to me. These
are so far my assumtions for naming the different types of
information:

- A "result" is is the abstract container/accessor for the results of
a query.
- A "result set" is a ordered set of rows. It wraps the concrete
information (e. g. the returned rows of a SELECT query), WITHOUT meta
information.
- A "row" is a ordered set of cells.
- A "cell" is the unique point of intersection of a row and a field/
column and thus is a single information entity.
- A "field" holds the meta information (gathered via
mysql_fetch_field()) for what I usually would call "column".

I am bothered by the name "field", because I expect it to be a single
entity. Spontaneous, fields are the same as cells for me. What MySQL
calls "field", I'd call column.

How do you think about this? Are the naming rules specified above well-
defined for you?

Thank you very much
